《国际结核病护理标准》规定了管理患有或被推定患有结核病或患结核病风险增加的患者的基本护理水平。欧洲联盟（欧盟）和欧洲经济区的资源和能力允许更高的护理标准，以确保高质量和及时的结核病诊断、预防和治疗。在此基础上，2012年发布了《欧洲联盟结核病护理标准》，作为专门针对欧盟环境的标准。自ESTC出版以来，新的科学证据已经出现，因此，标准进行了审查和更新。由欧洲呼吸学会（ERS）和欧洲疾病预防和控制中心（ECDC）的写作小组领导的国际专家小组根据新发表的证据更新了ESTC。这些以病人为中心的标准的基本原则保持不变。ESTC第二版包括诊断、治疗、艾滋病毒和合并症以及公共卫生和预防领域的21项标准，以临床医生和公共卫生工作者为目标，提供易于使用的资源，并作为所有必要活动的指南，以确保结核病的最佳诊断、治疗和预防。
The International Standards for Tuberculosis Care define the essential level of care for managing patients who have or are presumed to have tuberculosis, or are at increased risk of developing the disease. The resources and capacity in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area permit higher standards of care to secure quality and timely TB diagnosis, prevention and treatment. On this basis, the European Union Standards for Tuberculosis Care (ESTC) were published in 2012 as standards specifically tailored to the EU setting. Since the publication of the ESTC, new scientific evidence has become available and, therefore, the standards were reviewed and updated.A panel of international experts, led by a writing group from the European Respiratory Society (ERS) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), updated the ESTC on the basis of new published evidence. The underlying principles of these patient-centred standards remain unchanged. The second edition of the ESTC includes 21 standards in the areas of diagnosis, treatment, HIV and comorbidities, and public health and prevention.The ESTC target clinicians and public health workers, provide an easy-to-use resource and act as a guide through all the required activities to ensure optimal diagnosis, treatment and prevention of TB.
